Chris Neil will now likely retire. He said he has 1 more year left in him, but only for Sens. Sens told him officially they will not offer him a contract. He made $1.5 mil last season, and was after $900K to $1 mil for this season.

Guy Boucher was the one who did not want Chris Neil back of course. Neil said Boucher didn't even give him a chance last year to show he can contribute more in other areas. Boucher not a tough guy's coach. Boucher wants speed and tight checking on 4th line to play his system, so more interested in signing Chris Kelly back.

If he retires, he is said to have a job waiting for him in the Sens organization, most likely in coaching capacity.

Contrary to what you say, Neil said he would test the market. Otherwise he would have announced his retirement by now, much like Shawn Thornton.

I'm interested in Boulton. Surely he must have a job with Bridgeport/NY Islanders with either coaching or scouting. He only played 2 games with Bridgeport last year and none with the Islanders. Much like Matt Carkner two seasons ago, who became a player/coach with Bridgeport, then retired and became an assistant with the team last season.

Ya he has tested the market the past 10 days without much of a sniff after he said he would only come back on the Sens. Thornton already had it planned that last seaons was his last and he will retire 100%.

You are correct on Boulton. I thought it was already announced he was coaching with Bridgeport? Not sure what capacity though, and not sure when he would announce his retirement.
